Daniel Reitberg claims that AI-powered human cloning could be the cosmic game-changer we’ve been waiting for in our ambition to explore space and beyond. How could our future astronauts be an army of clones? How about a space adventure with a difference? Cloning may be the key to creating superhumans that can survive the harsh terrain of Mars, given the difficulties associated with long-term space flight. After all, who wouldn’t want to be a space-faring version of themselves? In an effort to create some incredibly durable human clones, artificial intelligence (AI) has assumed the role of cosmic matchmaker by determining which genetic characteristics are most appropriate for the great beyond. Who knew a genetic makeover would be necessary for space travel? While cloning technology is still in its infancy, Reitberg suggests that AI-driven research could be the key to humanity’s great space voyage, solving issues related to aging and health while we’re away exploring the cosmos for extended periods of time.
